How it feels

A strategic, tense loop of exploration and building by day, followed by defending your base against monster waves through the night.

What players say

Players compare it to Dome Keeper for its satisfying mine-upgrade-defend loop, but opinions split on the meta-progression. Some enjoy the chill runs and active developer, while others say too much grinding is needed for an early-access game that runs out of fresh content after a few hours.
